work wear / 1

My goal is to stream line the process of getting ready for work every day, and I think it would help a ton if I simplify my closet. I wear business professional clothes Mon-Fri, so majority of what’s currently hanging in my closet are work clothes. Casual/weekend clothes are folded in my dresser.

I need to sort thru my closet and do a purge soon, but in the meantime, I am documenting my work outfits so I can see and remember which items I wear most, which items look flattering on me and which items need to go. I’m going to pin the outfits and create a board on Pinterest.

Also, I’ve been wearing a ton of black and grey colors the last few months (ok, a year), and quiet honestly, I have been uninspired with the clothes I wear to work. So this week I made an effort and planned ahead to make sure I wore colors everyday. Everyday I looked forward to getting dressed because I had plan my clothes ahead of time (instead of just grabbing what’s available in the morning), and when I wear colors, I feel more cheerful.

I always have a few blazers that I keep hanging in my office, so if needed, I wear them with my outfit.

Notes: I should find a belt to wear with this pants. It will look more structured and less sloppy.

Notes: This skirt was in the donation pile, but I like how it looks with the peach top so I might consider keeping it.

Notes: My favorite outfit of the week, love the color and floral. The skirt is one size too big now, maybe get it tailored?

Notes: Need to hem skirt? I love this skirt so I want to keep it. It’s fully lined AND it has stretch material.

Notes: No color today, but I didn’t find it boring because double.polka.dots.

I’ve been asked many times to list dishes that are in our current dinner rotation. I usually draw blank and can’t get to 10 dishes, usually I remember about 5 dishes right on the spot. But later on, when I browse this blog or look at my recipe boards on Pinterest, I realize all […]

It’s another scorcher of a week here in SoCal. This year I’m really looking forward to Fall season, more than I’ve done in years past, but it looks like Summer wants to stay awhile longer. I’m normally an outdoorsy girl, but lately, I’ve been overheating from the 100 degrees weather we are having and opted […]

What a whirlwind of a week it has been. It was busy, busy with back to back events. It was so much fun, it went by so fast but I wouldn’t have it any other way. In a week, I had my bridal shower, celebrated my 30th birthday, ran a 10K for She Runs L.A. and […]

We started our trip to Mammoth before the crack of dawn this year. Chris and I had a 4am wake up call. Our friends met us at our house and we left by 6am. We bypassed L.A.’s morning gridlock and drove thru Mojave a few hours later. We passed by the airplane graveyard. I thought […]

Last week’s family meals had lot of greens. However, it was just my toddler and I at the table for most of the days, as the hubby was travelling at the end of the week. We hosted my mom and brothers this weekend. We had plans to go the beach and had our picnic food […]

I’ve got plums. Tons of plums. My friend Sena has plum trees in her backyard and I went to town picking at the ripe, juicy fruits. I have never picked plums straight from the tree. It was a lot of fun picking them. Some of the fruits were so ripe that only a slight touch […]

Thank you everyone for all your sweet comments on the engagement pictures sneak peek. I received a few emails with funny comments from friends. Funny comments such as “Oh go get your own barn”, “The pictures are channeling Bella and Edward in the woods” and “Keep the boots on, if you know what I mean”. […]

I am a visual person, and I love capturing things, places and people that makes me happy. I love posting my pictures on Instagram, and have completely ditched Facebook for most part. I also love that I can catalogue pictures that are alike by using a hashtag. Sometimes, seeing the whole series of pictures creates […]
